Ayu Must Resign, Makinde Tells Atiku, Gives Reasons

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has insisted that Senator Iyorcha Ayu must resign as national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to enable the party move as one towards uprooting the All Progressives Congress, APC from office.

Makinde made the call at the meeting of stakeholders of the party with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in Ibadan on Wednesday.

GWG reports that Makinde is one of about four governors openly identifying with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State who is leading the campaign for the resignation of Ayu.

While affirming that the party’s stakeholders do not have any issue with Atiku or the party, Makinde said that Ayu should resign to give the South a sense of belonging within the party in line with the presidential candidate’s drive for restructuring.

Indeed, Makinde in his welcome address hailed Atiku as “the incoming President of Nigeria in 2023,” and by that eliciting loud applause from the stakeholders.

He said, “The truth is that we do not have any issue either with our party or our candidate. If there are challenges they must be tabled.

“We are supposed to give hope to our people, we want them to listen to us.

“Our party wants to rescue Nigeria and our candidate is a unifier. He wants to restructure Nigeria

“Eight years of the All Progressives Congress have left us sharply divided. The issue is we must practice what we preach. If we want to unify Nigeria, we must unify the PDP first.

“If we want to restructure Nigeria, we must have the willingness to bring inclusivity to the PDP. Do we have the capacity? The answer is resounding yes.

“The message from the South-West PDP is the South-West is asking that the National Working Committee of the PDP should be restructured.

“We are asking the National Chairman to step down so that the South will be fully included. That is the message.”
